apache2 and mod-python

[muszek]

I have apache2 working nicely. I just installed apache2-mod-python2.4 and restarted apache2. When I enter localhost/test.py in my browser, it doesn't parse the script, but wants to open/save it. What should I do?

I had exactly this problem on Breezy. I fixed it (after reading this message (http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2003-August/014036.html) in the mod_python mailing list archives) by commenting out the line:

text/x-python py

in /etc/mime.types.

I also found these instructions (http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/inst-testing.html) useful.
